Museum conservation is the practice of preserving and maintaining artifacts, artworks, and historical objects found in museums. Conservators use scientific methods and techniques to prevent deterioration and damage caused by environmental factors, handling, and time. This ensures that items remain in good condition for future generations to study and enjoy. Conservation involves various processes, including cleaning, repairing, and stabilizing objects. Professionals often work with materials like paper, textiles, and metals, employing specialized tools and knowledge. The goal is to balance the need for preservation with the importance of allowing public access to cultural heritage and historical artifacts.
